As evangelical support for Donald Trump continues to generate headlines, a lot of nuances are often left ignored. On Tuesday, I explored one aspect of this in an EthicsDaily.comarticle on how Trump actually performs poorly with those who attend church more frequently. I explored a second aspect in a new EthicsDaily.com article today.

Today's piece, Evangelicals in Middle America Less Supportive of Trump, notes that while Trump wins evangelicals in most state, he actually loses them in Midwestern states. Trump lost evangelicals in Iowa, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas (and probably in Minnesota). The article includes some quotes from writer Scott Lamb and political science professor Hal Bass.
